I'm sure many here have been following the recent news about Harvey Weinstein, and the numerous allegations leveled against him. Some are extremely serious; but even if we set aside allegations of criminal behaviour, he appears to have behaved like a repulsive bully.

I say this here because he is down as Executive Producer of all 3 of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films. Someone doesn't need to be an orc to be accused of orc like behavior...

Well, I can't see all that having any direct effect on perceptions of the LOTR films.

I daresay Executive Producer is not something most people really pay attention to with movies. I'm not much of a cinemaphile, but the cast is more interesting to me when deciding if I want to see something.

When I read what he was accused of, and checked his connection with the films, I just thought of orc like behaviour by a Man...

Arda marred.
